Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A HIGHER proportion of British Road Services' capital -expenditure is going to Scotland this year—but the railways there are getting slightly less.

This was revealed in the Commons last week by the Minister of Transport. He said that the Transport Commission estimated that five per cent. of B.R.S. capital expenditure last year went on Scottish services, while the proportion in 1961 was about eight 1%1' cent. For British Railways the figure last year was 11 per cent., and this year would be about 10 per cent.

Mr. Marplcs emphasized that these were not precise figures, since rolling stock and vehicles opera ted between Scotland and other parts of the country.
